Unbelievably Proud!

After 3 years of hard work, dedication, and a work ethic like I've never seen Tim is officially a graduate of the IU School of Education! It's never easy being a full-time student, but he managed to do it all while staying at home with Grant and Lilly (which is really another full-time job in itself!), making the dean's list, coaching, being president of a student organization, and never letting me down as an amazing husband.

It was amazing to see him walk across the stage at the main ceremony...I was a little teary...but an even prouder moment during the School of Education's recognition program. Out of all the students graduating in the School of Education, one award is given to two students: the Jarboe Award - an award given to one elementary education graduate and one secondary education graduate. After already sitting for three hours I was a little zoned out while they were starting to announce it, but then I heard "and the 2011 recipient for secondary education is Timothy Paul Kegley". WOW!!!

I immediately jumped up to run (well, a fast waddle, really) to the front of the huge ballroom fighting tears to grab a picture of such a great moment for him. It's a faculty committee that selects the winner based on excellence in academics, campus and community leadership, and service. WOW, again!!! What a proud, proud moment - the award embodies everything Tim has become personally and professionally. Congratulations babe - I have no doubt the impact you have on your students will be incredible!
